SUGGESTED NAMES FOR THE NEW WINNIPEG FRANCHISE

I don’t want to be accused of not doing my part to find a name for the new Winnipeg NHL franchise. So, I put my thinking cap on and came up with these off the top of my head. If you have any others, please share.

Given the City’s very high crime rate, The Manitoba Murderers.

In case you don’t know what “Winnipeg” actually means, The Manitoba Muddy Waters. I can see a whole Blues theme that would put St. Louis to shame.

Knowing the Winnipeggers’ state of mind for the past 15 + years, The Winnipeg Bettman Sucks We Love You Bettmans

Winnipeg Woebegotten (mascot = anthropomorphic infantile cretin in diapers, wearing fake moose antlers and brandishing a hockey stick as if to threaten all of creation)

Winnipeg Wets (mascot = pair of moose antlers, not-so-subtly designed to resemble a candelabra of branching phalluses (phalli?) alluding to the letter W, the tips of each branch dripping into a sparkling stalactite of opalescent iridescence.)

Winnipeg What The F*** (mascot = studly, well endowed moose, missing a few front teeth, with several garter belts and “thong” panties dangling from it antlers, passed out atop a zamboni being driven by a perky horde of Canadian school girls dressed in RCMP uniforms)

Winnipeg Whiners …….( mascot = Simple Jack as an infant, throwing a tantrum, on top of a road killed Atlanta Thrasher, holding a pacifier in the likeness of Gary Bettman’s tiny frank and beans in one hand, and a lump of it’s own excrement in the other, wearing a sweater with 2 male loons mating cut off mid drift style, and on top of it’s oversized head…..a truckers cap, showing Ryan Getzlaf’s face, and a “You’re Next” caption above)
